Chapter 22: Thunder Pool

The next day, noon

Zhang Yunxian sat cross-legged in the room, preparing to practice the Fire Movement Body Exercise. He picked up a Fire Pole Pill from the wooden box on the ground, put it in his mouth, swallowed it, and closed his eyes.

After a long time, he felt that the Fire Pole Pill in his abdomen was slowly transformed into Fire Pole Dan Qi, and he transported the Fire Pole Dan Qi, expanded his whole body, and opened his eyes at the same time.

His whole body began to exude a trace of scorching air, and his skin burned red like fire, and then he smelled a pungent smell of burning, and looked down: "Ahhhhhh

I saw that the clothes on his body had been scorched by the heat emitted by his body, and he was sitting naked on the ground.

Zhang Yunxian immediately returned the fire pole pill qi in his abdomen to the dantian and slapped the sparks on his body.

''How can this be, is it the same when my father practiced the fire body?''

Zhang Yunxian stood up, hurriedly went to the bed to pick up new clothes and put them on, and sat back down.

"Could it be that every time you perform the Fire Exercise Technique, the clothes on your body will be scorched? That's too embarrassing, isn't it?"

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yunxian suddenly realized, and secretly said in his heart: "I understand, it turns out that this is the case"

He slowly stretched out his hands and carried the Fire Extreme Dan Qi to his own hands. I saw that his hands began to glow with a slightly hot red light, emitting a scorching air current.

"Wow!, that's amazing," he said, looking at his hands in disbelief.

At the same time, he discovered a secret, it turned out that this Dan Qi could not only be sent to the whole body with his mind, but also to a certain part of the body.

Zhang Yunxian returned the Fire Pole Dan Qi to the Dantian, and the red light and heat on his hands disappeared again.

"Hee-hee" he was happy and ran out of the room.

When he came to the outside of the house, he saw a few small flowers growing in the corner of the wall next to him, he walked over, stretched out his right hand to hold the bud of one of the flowers, and then transported the fire pole Dan qi in the dantian to his right hand, only to see his right hand glow with a slightly hot red light, and the small flower in his hand instantly burned and turned into ashes.

Zhang Yunxian was dumbfounded: "Wow!, it's amazing"

From this day on, he learned the fire practice exercises.

Spring goes to autumn, and flowers bloom

Five years later, Zhang Yunxian was eighteen years old, and he had completely transformed from a child into a sunny teenager. He grew taller, his body became stronger, his eyes were bright, and his body exuded the aura and vitality of a mature boy.

Compared to him in childhood, now he likes to smile more, and has become cheerful and optimistic, even the twelve female disciples of the Star Worship Palace can't help but blush when they see his smile, and their hearts beat faster.

Because they couldn't believe that the shy, dirty boy would now be so handsome and delicate, and their hearts would fall for it.

It's really unseemly.

In the past five years, Zhang Yunxian has never left the Star Worship Palace, and has been practicing diligently every day, Bimuquan Qigong, Fuchen Gathering Form, and later self-taught Fire Walking Body Exercise and Vajra Power Exercise. He hopes to avenge the death of his father and three uncles as soon as possible.

Of course, no one in the Star Worship Palace knew that he was carrying the Ming Zhenxuan Exercises, and every time he practiced, he did it in secret. Usually, he will also help the female disciples of the Star Worship Palace to deal with some physically demanding things, such as repairing flowers, weeding, carrying wood, and fetching water,,, every female disciple will be happy from the bottom of their hearts when they see him.

They feel that the place where Zhang Yunxian appears will be full of joy and happiness, just like the dry land meets the long-lost rain, and the dark deep forest meets the warm sun, which will always bring unexpected surprises.

On this day, Zhang Yunxian sat cross-legged in the room, preparing to practice the last exercise, the cold body.

Hearing Uncle Qin say that the cold walking body is a practice practiced by his mother, he is full of curiosity about this exercise.

He picked up the Water Pole Pill, put it in his mouth, swallowed it, and closed his eyes.

After a long time, he felt that the Water Pole Pill in his abdomen had been transformed into the Water Pole Dan Qi, and he carried the Water Pole Pill Qi to expand his whole body, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that his whole body began to exude a trace of cold air.

After that, he returned the water pole Dan Qi to the dantian, stood up, came to the stone table, picked up the stone cup full of tea on the stone table with his right hand, and slowly transported the water pole Dan Qi to his right hand, only to see the cold air rising in his right hand, and the stone cup in his hand was shrouded in a cloud of cold air, and the tea in the cup instantly condensed into ice.

At this point, he had learned all of Ming Zhenxuan's Five Elements Exercises, and he couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face.

At this moment, Zhang Yunxian walked out of the room, wanting to relax, but saw Lei Lingxue carrying a wooden bucket to fetch water by the stream in front, and he walked over to Lei Lingxue.

"Sister Lei, let me help you"

Lei Lingxue straightened up, wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's come."

Zhang Yunxian reached out and took the wooden bucket in her hand, put it in the stream to help get water, and said: "Leave this kind of thing to me in the future."

Lei Lingxue smiled and said, "It's okay, I can do it alone."

'''Or leave it to me''' Zhang Yunxian lifted the wooden bucket filled with water and walked back to the North Palace with Lei Lingxue, Lei Lingxue only felt a warmth in her heart, and she was indescribably happy.

Zhang Yunxian asked: "Sister Lei, I see that you have been coming here a lot to get water recently, where do you need so much water?"

Lei Lingxue said: "It's Lei Chi"

"Lei Chi?" Zhang Yunxian asked.

Lei Lingxue nodded and said, "Well, my father said that there have been a lot of thunderstorms recently, and the thunder pool will be filled with water for the purpose of cultivating the Fa."

Zhang Yunxian nodded and said, "Oh, that's right."

''Hmm''

Lei Chi, Zhang Yunxian has heard of it for a long time, but he has not seen it with his own eyes, and in the past five years, he has also learned a lot about the things in the Star Worship Palace.

Thunder Pond is the forbidden place of the Star Palace, non-Star Worship Palace people are forbidden to enter, there is a strange stone one zhang high on the roof of the North Palace, the bottom end of this strange stone goes straight into a stone room of the North Palace, there is a pool in this stone room, this pool is called the Thunder Pool.

Whenever there is a violent storm, lightning and thunder, the strange stone will introduce the thunder and lightning into the thunder pool, which is used by the people of the Star Palace to practice thunder.

This strange stone is also called the lightning stone.

Thunder is a unique technique of the Star Worship Palace, and it is a must-learn technique for the people of the Star Worship Palace.

When the thunder and lightning come, sit naked in the center of the thunder pool, waiting for the thunder stone to lead the thunder and lightning, once the thunder and lightning fall on the body of the person in the thunder pool, it will be stored by the Julei Dan in the body of the Xinggong Gate for the practitioner to use in the future. If the people of the Star Worship Palace do not take the Julei Dan to hard-connect the thunder and lightning in the thunder pool, then there is only one consequence, being killed by the thunder and lightning. It is said that Lei Lingxue's mother lost her life in this link.

In addition, there is also a saying in the Star Worship Palace: It is easy to take thunder, but it is difficult to resist thunder

The meaning of this sentence is that although lightning is easy to obtain, it is not easy to use it as you like.

There are three levels of practice in thunder, beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

Beginner practitioners can only use the basic art of thunder and can only trigger a small amount of thunder and lightning from the index or ring finger, and this level usually requires three years of practice, mainly to lay a solid foundation for intermediate and upper levels.

Intermediate cultivators can not only take the thunder technique, but also control the thunder and lightning stored in the body, breaking through the barrier that can only excite thunder and lightning from the index finger or ring finger, and can achieve multi-finger excitation and free power movement. And the only person in the Star Worship Palace who has cultivated thunder to the intermediate stage is Lei Lingxue.

It can be said that the advanced practitioner's use of thunder and lightning has reached a certain level, and the thunder and lightning that are stimulated from the body have been developed to the extreme, and various techniques such as jumping, chaining, replenishing, and gathering can be realized in things.

For example, if a senior practitioner wants to rescue a companion trapped in a war, and there is an enemy in front of and behind the companion, the advanced practitioner can perform the thunder technique, triggering lightning from his fingers to hit the enemy in front of and behind the companion without harming the companion himself.

If a senior practitioner wants to kill the eight enemies in front of him, he only needs to activate the lightning from his fingers, hit one of the enemies, and then let the lightning jump and kill the rest of the enemies on its own.

When the superior practitioner wants to rescue a companion, and this companion also happens to be a practitioner of thunder art, when the companion's body does not have enough thunder and lightning, the advanced practitioner can add thunder and lightning to the companion's body from a distance, this is the thunder technique of supplementation, and the process of replenishment is also very simple, the advanced practitioner only needs to stimulate the thunder and lightning from his fingers and hit the supplemented practitioner. If the Gathering Thunder Pill in the body of the Superior Cultivator lacks thunder and lightning, he can directly absorb the Thunderbolt from the Gathering Thunder Pill in the Weaker Level Cultivator's body to replenish himself. This is the gathering technique of thunder.

And in the Star Worship Palace, the only person who has cultivated the thunder technique to the advanced stage is Lei Xiong.

In addition, the thunder and lightning stored in the Thunder Pill are limited, and under normal circumstances, they can only be used by the practitioner for two months, if the thunder and lightning stored in the practitioner's body are emptied by the practitioner, the practitioner must go to the thunder pool to obtain the thunder again, otherwise they will lose the ability to cast thunder techniques.

......

Although Zhang Yunxian knew these things, he had never seen the true appearance of Lei Chi.

Soon, he followed Lei Lingxue through several corridors and came to a stone room in the North Palace.

I saw that there is a huge pool in this stone room, the surface of the pool is filled with white water vapor, such as fog and smoke, and there is a thick stone pillar hanging upside down on the dome of the stone room, which may be the legendary lightning guide stone, and this pool may be the thunder pool.

Zhang Yunxian asked: "Sister Lei, is this pool a thunder pool?"

Lei Lingxue nodded and said, "Hmm"

Zhang Yunxian said: "I can't imagine that Lei Chi is like this"

As the words fell, he slowly poured the water from the barrel into the thunder pool, but unexpectedly, the palm of his left hand was pierced by a wooden thorn on the top of the barrel.

He hurriedly let go of his left hand, and the barrel in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and blood suddenly flowed out of the palm of his left hand.

Seeing this, Lei Lingxue asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Yunxian looked at the wound on the palm of his left hand, shook his head, and said, "No,,,, nothing."

Lei Lingxue was shocked when she saw blood dripping down his left hand, and hurriedly asked, "How did you get it?"

Zhang Yunxian said: "It's okay, it's just a little blood"

Lei Lingxue said: "You open your hand"

Zhang Yunxian slowly opened his left hand.

I saw Lei Lingxue's slender and white right hand gently pressed on the wound in the palm of his left hand, and said, "Like me, hold down here."

Zhang Yunxian listened to her words, and pressed his right hand tightly against the wound in the palm of his left hand.

Lei Lingxue took out a white handkerchief from her arms and carefully bandaged his wounds.

Zhang Yunxian felt warm in his heart, and quietly looked at Lei Lingxue, motionless.

"What do you see me doing?" Lei Lingxue noticed that Zhang Yunxian's eyes were staring at her, and asked softly.

Zhang Yunxian immediately looked away from her face and said, "No, it's nothing."

"Okay, don't touch the water" Lei Lingxue bandaged his wounds.

Zhang Yunxian nodded and said, "Well, thank you, Sister Lei."

Lei Lingxue shook her head and smiled slightly.

"Sister Lei, I'm leaving"

''Hmm''

Zhang Yunxian bent down to lift the wooden barrel on the ground and walked towards the outside of the stone room.

Lei Lingxue escorted him out of the stone room.
